Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterdayBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
This is what happened, no matter what kind of "balance" David Ellison claimed to promote in his @nytimes.com op ed today.

The bishop should get triple time ffs
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 3d agoA Mormon Border Patrol agent sexually abused all 6 of his children for years. He confessed as much to his bishop, who did not report it. Instead the bishop told the wife ... who was later sentenced to jail for not reporting it. The bishop? The AZ Supreme Court says he did nothing wrong.
“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will …. say that this never happened.” Not a direct Eisenhower quote. But true now. Get it all on record. Because we will take these fuckers to a new set of Nuremberg trials.
My brother flies air attack for wildfire: he drives the plane as the Fire Watch guy in the right seat calls in aerial assets (water bombers, helos etc). Yesterday he was flying one of the many other fires in Eastern Washington (probably the Modrite Complex on the Columbia).
It can be done. When I first got to Stumptown, Bud Clark was the tavern owner/ mayor.

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
“By one estimate, an A.I. crash could wipe out $20 trillion in American wealth — far more than the dot-com crash in 2000 or even the 2008 financial crisis.” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/m...

This is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 5d agoThat’s bad right?
A disastrous turning point for the United States: when Donald Trump wasn’t arrested soon after January 6, 2021. So much anguish and destruction and murder could have been avoided if that monster had been immediately held accountable. This failure may have doomed the nation.
Why is smoke from #WoodsideFire in Sonoma County so bad from a small blaze? Winds are being channeled through the Russian River and Petaluma Gap, bringing smoke to the Hwy 101 corridor. A shallow marine layer ~1,500ft w/ hot air above cold air prevents smoky winds from mixing w/ the free atmosphere
I was not informed by the BBC that they would have a right wing political figure or lobbyist on after me to rebut what I said. The individual in question went on to spout lies about China, etc. to distract attention from the Trump administration's assault on climate action. This is unacceptable.

It is difficult to overstate how bad Gavin Newsom is. As a governor of California, as a Democrat, as a human being. He’s awful.
Gil Durán@gilduran.com · 6d agoLooks like Gavin Newsom is going to bat for California Forever, the Network State "tech utopia" project backed by Marc Andreessen and other tech billionaires. 70% of local residents oppose it. But the billionaires hired Newsom's favorite lobbyist. Welcome to Sacramento. nypost.com/2026/07/29/u...
